Fresh Sweet Bing Cherry Crumb Bars

I had an over-abundance of fresh sweet Bing cherries this summer and I was looking for something to do with them all over the internet. I wanted a small batch of bars that I could adapt to dairy-free. This is my adaptation of a recipe I found (credits below) and it turned out wonderfully. It made just a small 8x8 pan, enough that my family of three could each enjoy three nicely sized bars. And enjoy we did.

In
a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl whisk together the egg,
vanilla and almond extracts. Then, using fork or your fingers, combine
the margarine and egg mixture with flour mixture until combined. Press 2/3 of the crust mixture in bottom of pan. Set aside the remaining for the crumb topping.

Toss
cherries with the sugar, cornstarch and water. Then
sprinkle evenly on crust, then top with remaining crumb mixture.
